> What causes a wife's 100% loss of interest in physical communion with a much loved husband? Wife has bipolar disorder.
If bipolar, and in a depressed phase of it, loss of interest in everything is a core symptom. Sometimes sexual activity actually increases, probably some sort of survival reaction or desperate need for feeling. But sometimes interest in sex is totally lost just like everything else. I've experienced both, depending on the degree of my depression at the time. A full physical check-up might reveal a cause. If there is medication involved, that could easily be the guilty offender. No easy answers, but lots to consider. JohnL.
